 Hi Russ and all,
 
 I've been using VOM's for forty some years and I darn well know how to use 
one and
 certainly how to read polarity. I've been making and using CS for four years 
or so and I
 think I know how to make it as well. I have two electrodes; the silver 
electrode is
 connected to the positive terminal, and I have a stainless electrode 
connected to the
 negative terminal (for those of you who are going to freak about using 
stainless for the
 cathode, this was discussed a year or so ago on this list and seemed to be 
perfectly
 acceptable at the time, and it is much easier to clean; for the most part it 
becomes
 plated with silver that is pretty firmly attached). If I turn the stirrer 
off I see silver
 coming off the positive electrode (the only one that's silver so duh!). 
Discussions here
 have also pointed out that the CS ideally has a positive charge which is 
believed to help
 in whatever magic it does; I'd think that would be kinda hard to do if it 
comes off of a
 negative electrode. If I'm doing something wrong then it is amazing that I'm 
making CS.
 Would a few of the experts please verify that I am either right or wrong 
about polarity (I
 say the CS comes off the anode or positive terminal). This is kinda 
important, especially
 when talking about electrodes being applied to the surface of the skin.
 
 Thanks,
 Ron KC7ZWA

Ron. You are correct. Several years ago I used the same set up. Roger
